yea you should be using some type of loctite, i used blue when i did it recently. thread sealent will stop oil, but so will loctite and you know that they ain't gonna back out... especially if you use red (ask me how i know)

has anyone actually had their flywheel bolts back out on them after torqueing them to the proper 85ft.lbs?
I didn't use any kind of loctite or sealer when I put mine back on. I do have a new special type of rear main seal so I'm not worried about oil leakage through the threads.

since we're on the topic, what you all use for the DS bolts? For some reason, mine continually back out, and I have tried blue loctite and tightening those ####ers down TIGHT. Do you guys use red loctite on this, or a lock washer?

Or am I the only one
